8 jars Quart-Size Canning Jars With Lids And Rings
5 pounds Apples
2-1/4 cups Granulated Sugar, Divided
5 cups Water, Divided
1/2 cups Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1-1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/8 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1/8 teaspoons Ground Cloves

1
Place jars in the dishwasher to heat them up. They need to be hot when you put the filling inside.
2
Slice, peel and core apples. Set aside.
3
Combine 1 3/4 cups sugar and 4 1/2 cups of water together in a large pot; bring to a boil and make sure sugar is dissolved.
4
While it's heating, combine 1/2 cup cornstarch, remaining 1/2 cup water and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in a bowl until no longer lumpy.
5
After sugar and water are boiling, whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Keep whisking to make sure lumps don't form. Add in remaining ingredients (except apples) and bring to a boil to thicken.
6
Pack hot jars with apples. Ladle liquid into jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Remove bubbles and adjust 2-piece caps. Process in a water bath for 20 minutes (additional time may be needed according to your altitude-use standard canning practices). This is where a large pot is filled with water to completely cover the jars. This is done so that all the bacteria is killed and the jars are sealed and can sit on a shelf instead of in the freezer.
7
Makes 7-8 quarts (each one is enough for 1 pie).
